I"M watching Good Day L.A. this morning and they talked about the CA Food and Wine Festival, they showed clips from last year and I saw 2 Dis ladies ! wearing the brown T-shirts, of course I have no idea who they were but it was exciting to see them !

That is so cool!

Me too! Our theater gives free refills on the large, so we always get that, eat it, then refill it on the way out to take home.

Ours does too! We always get that and share it (unlimited refills ) Next time I'm getting some to take home

Hey, great idea!! Wait, would you consider that narcisstic?

Hmmmmmm....

Not at all

See, I knew you were naughty.

And it also depends on how much clothing he is wearing... the less, the cheaper.

Good thinking

No way!! How awesome is that. Darn I wish I'd seen it.




Just a quick reminder ladies, when you are out doing your shopping this weekend, have fun, and enjoy it but please remember not to go to crazy. It's not a gift, just a fun exchange and we don't want some people spending $50 while others are sticking close to the $20. That's not fair and could lead to hurt feelings which was not what this was about.
So get creative and find something neat for your person, but keep the cost down please. Thank you!

Well that's different....... not knocking it...might be worth a try!!

It's good, have you ever had white cheddar popcorn? Same concept it's just yellow cheese instead. I melt a little butter and pour that over then shake on the cheese....super yummy!!!!

Okay, so I don't really have anything to add about popcorn other than have you tried orvilles naturals garlic and salt microwave popcorn? Good.

I just wanted to interupt to say that I am done shopping for my summer exchange and I want to keep the stuff. I think maybe I should have bought two of all of it!!

Uh oh!!

I tried the Redenbacher Salt & Lime, that was interesting to say the least. Not bad at all, just different. Garlic sounds good!!!

I just got some awesome news. Someone is giving me two tickets to company D. Can't wait to do some shopping there for my person.

Woo Hoo!! How exciting for you and your person!! YAY!!

No way!! How awesome is that. Darn I wish I'd seen it.

Beth - some of us are creative shoppers (okay - and maybe some of us have too much time to scope out the deals ) who know how to spot a bargain - everything I got was either on way discount or free (because of points )

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

I keep forgetting to post over here!

I'm excited about the exchange also. I have ideas, and things planned. I just need to decide which ones to do!

Stacie, that is exciting about getting into Company D. How fun!

Creative is good! If you can send more and still spend less all the better.

I'm like this also. My ex MIL was the opposite. At Christmas, we would exchange names, and set a price limit. I would go out and shop the sales, and get as much as I could within the price limit. She would go out (or 'shop' in her basement) and get something that looked like it might have cost the price limit at one time or the other.

One time I got a bottle of purfum from her that was brown! I know it had to have been at least 10-15 years old by the dates on the package.

Normally, I would say, it's the thought that counts (because in the end it is), but since I know for a fact that she hated me....I don't think that was the case here!

What did it smell like?




Well, I finished my shopping!!!!

So we were supposed to be at no less than $20 but not too much more?

Aww, how could anyone not like you??

Yep. Minimum is $20 not including shipping. But you are welcome to include some fun freebies or extras. I usually do. But keep it simple and fun like a Disney keychain, or pin or something along those lines. Not spending enough on the extras to make it a $50 or $60 gift. kwim?


I know we have a great group of exchangers here and we are going to have some awesome packages!!

Ok, so as long as our gift is better than a stinky old bottle of perfume we're good?? I feel better now that the bar is set nice and low.

I think I have most of my stuff. Just need to piece it all together.

This is much more fun than work or cleaning house!

I know what you mean jelly bean! I was right around $20, a tad over.

 

[Boo Bear]

I think we're going to do it..... but I haven't heard back from Bridgette..... probably know in the morning..........

I didn't mean to cause confusion.......

Sorry! I know we got it worked out but I didn't mean to leave you hangin last night. I've had this awful migraines the past couple of days and fell asleep in the middle of PMing you last night OOPS!

I'm sorry to hear that Bridgette.....no biggie on my end!!! I deal with migraines about every 3-4 months.....so I totally feel for ya!

 

[Queenbillabong]

Yay - I have mine packed up and ready to post (probably on Monday unless I find time to go to the post office this weekend).

It's better today. My doctor started me on Topamax (sp?) yesterday. It was bad until about an hour ago and then it slightly decreased on its own. I hate the prospect of having to medicate myself on a daily basis but thats kind of how it has been with rescue medication. Life is so hard to enjoy when you have a migraine.

On a happier note... I'm having fun getting the exchange stuff ready!

Me TOO!

I'm going Monday!
